become a 1927 trustee

HELLO! 

WE’RE 1927 THEATRE COMPANY! 

WE’RE SEEKING TRUSTEES TO JOIN OUR BOARD!

We’re a small Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. We punch above our weight - from creating animated theatre, opera, and radio, to delivering workshops in schools and prisons, making a music video for Ozzy Osbourne, as well as theatre and animation content for AMC’s Interview with the Vampire.

We have a dedicated board of trustees who cover a spectrum of different skill sets and we are looking to expand this.

We’re particularly keen to hear from people with experience in Fundraising, Commercial IP, the Criminal Justice system and the Arts – in particular those with experience of working with families and in rehabilitation. We’re also keen to hear from potential Kent based Trustees. 

1927 is very keen to broaden the diversity of its board. We value the differences that people bring from all backgrounds, communities and experiences to support the work of the company and its future development.

Trustees are required to attend four board meetings (which are usually held in London on a Thursday evening) and one away day a year and will also be expected to contribute on an ad hoc basis, though this would not normally be a burdensome time commitment. 

Please provide a short statement (not more than a page!) via email here outlining your key skills and experience and how you think this would be of benefit to 1927 before 6 May 2025.
If the link doesn’t work for you, please email jo@19-27.co.uk with the subject line “1927 Trustee Recruitment” to submit your statement.
